Security Bulletin
This security bulletin contains information about 4 vulnerabilities.
1) Improperly implemented security check for standard
EUVDB-ID: #VU50881
Risk: Medium
CVSSv3.1: 5.7 [CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N/E:U/RL:O/RC:C]
CVE-ID: CVE-2021-23968
CWE-ID:
CWE-358 - Improperly Implemented Security Check for Standard
Exploit availability: No
DescriptionThe vulnerability allows a remote attacker to bypass implemented security restrictions.
The vulnerability exists due to incorrect implementation of W3C Content Security Policy. If Content Security Policy blocked frame navigation, the full destination of a redirect served in the frame was reported in the violation report; as opposed to the original frame URI. A remote attacker can gain knowledge of sensitive information contained in such URIs. MitigationUpdate the affected package MozillaFirefox to the latest version.

2) Improperly implemented security check for standard
EUVDB-ID: #VU50879
Risk: Medium
CVSSv3.1: 3.8 [CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:L/I:N/A:N/E:U/RL:O/RC:C]
CVE-ID: CVE-2021-23969
CWE-ID:
CWE-358 - Improperly Implemented Security Check for Standard
